Another Crooked Republican, Oh My!

I told myself after this madministration cheated their way in and McCain's way out of the primaries 5 yrs ago that I should document 1) their lies, and 2) the reprimands, dismissals, and convictions of their cronies, because I knew it would be impossible to keep up w/ them all. There are only so many hours in the day, and I do not have access to any supercomputers. NASA's apparently got a lock on 'em.

Look! Another crooked Republican B*sh appointee! I'm shocked! Shock-- oh, f*ck it. Instead of saying for the umpteenth (to a factor of 350) time that I'm sick of these people, I'll just note that this is one more nail in the rapidly built coffin of their own making.

Report Says Ex-Chief of Public TV Violated Federal Law.

Investigators at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting concluded today that its former chairman repeatedly broke federal law and its own regulations in a campaign to combat what he saw as liberal bias.

The scathing report by the corporation's inspector general described a dysfunctional organization that violated the Public Broadcasting Act, which created the corporation and was written to insulate programming decisions from politics.

The corporation received $400 million this year from Congress to finance an array of programs on public television and radio, although its future financing has come under heavy criticism, particularly from conservative lawmakers. Its board is selected by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

The corporation's former chairman, Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, who was ousted from the board two weeks ago when it was presented in a closed session with the details of the report, has said he sought to enforce a provision of the Public Broadcasting Act meant to ensure objectivity and balance in programming. But the report said that in the process, Mr. Tomlinson repeatedly crossed statutory boundaries that set up the corporation as a "heat shield" to protect public radio and television from political interference.

For instance, the report said that Mr. Tomlinson violated federal law by being heavily involved in getting more than $4 million in money for a program featuring the conservative editorial writers of The Wall Street Journal. The board is prohibited from getting involved in programming decisions, but the investigators found that Mr. Tomlinson had pushed hard for the program, "The Journal Editorial Report," even as some staff officials at the corporation raised concerns over its cost.

The report said investigators found evidence that "political tests" were a major criteria used by Mr. Tomlinson in recruiting the corporation's new president, Patricia Harrison, a former co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee and former senior State Department official.

According to the report, she was given the job after being promoted for it by an unidentified official at the White House. Investigators found e-mail messages between Mr. Tomlinson and the White House that, "while ""cryptic"" in nature, give "the appearance that the former chairman was strongly motivated by political considerations in filling the president/C.E.O. position." The corporation's presidency, its senior staff job, has historically been reserved for a nonpartisan expert in public broadcasting.

Godalmighty - that's what we've been saying from the get-go with that asshole...

Birds of a feather, ae!

Am I pleased Tomlinson was tossed? How do I know until his successor flashes us some true colors?

Blue - no, green. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Alicia, I know. I'm calling conspiracy. They appoint someone, we cry that they're a crooked partisan. They claim we're playing politics and that they're on the side of angels, all the while forging right ahead with injecting politics into everything they do and proving our original criticism to be true. How many times has this happened? Every single time? No doubt.

We are, David! Lucky me.

Tata! Green! Green! Green! Hell, I'd take Kermit at this point just to get a little green.

Have they yet surpassed the Reagan administration as the most corrupt in history? And is it any coincidence that we all seem to have teflon in our blood now? Just curious....I guess that makes me yellow....
